Soufriere, St. Lucia`s first capital, is a town, filled with natural and historic sites. Most imposing are the towering twin peaks of the PITONS, which thrust up from the water to heights of over half a mile. While the peaks appear to be next to each other, one rises from Soufriere, the other from the neighbouring village of Choiseul. You can do some glimbing with guide.

   By Soufriere, from the volcano, called small Piton, is running out a hot water spring. They call it Pitons hot mineral waterfalls.

Not far from the Pitons are the Sulfur Springs, a seven-acre crater billed as the Caribbean´s only drive-in volcano. A walk through the crater takes you past pools and hot springs bubbling and belching, with sulphur-laden steam. Just outside the Springs, you can bathe in the warm sulphuric river, reputed for its healing effects.

The Pitons and the Sulphur springs are  part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, designated for its geological importance. This part of St. Lucia tells the story of the creation of the entire Caribbean basin.

  Nearby are the Diamond Botanical Gardens Waterfall and Mineral baths.

 Fond  St. Jacques in Soufriere and the circular Descartiers trail, a four-mile meander through natural rainforest with spectacular lookout points. There is lots to see including the St. Lucia Parrot..
